## Resource

Conroe, Texas is racing to become the home of the new U.S. Space Academy, eyeing a ready-made 214-acre site at Deison Tech Park and leveraging its existing student housing, airport access, and deepwater engineering expertise. With a federal deadline looming and Texas needing to submit its top choice by October 26, city leaders are moving fast—consulting state officials and planning a formal feasibility study to make sure Conroe’s bold bid gets heard. If selected, groundbreaking could start by 2027, with the first class in temporary facilities by 2028 and the permanent campus opening by 2031—potentially transforming the city and the entire county.
